As mentioned, there is a variety of motels within striking distance if youwant a room. Rv's and campers are allowed by the road and around thehangars and tents pretty much anywhere. Camping is allowed on the far sideof the closed runway by the trees, (I've been told it was for tents only,though I'm seeing some campers recently) However, NO GENERATORS are allowedthere, though they seem to be acceptable around the hangars. Wherever youend up, they ask for a small camping "donation" for which you get yourannual Brodhead pin to put on your tent or vehicle.I THINK there's a dinner Friday and Sat evening and there's a breakfast somemornings, but I'm not sure which. There are bathrooms and showers, but youhave to kind of time your spot as it gets pretty busy.Sunday is usually just a day for leaving, so don't plan on doing anything.Friday and Saturday seem to be the best days to be there, with most planesarriving Thurs and Friday. Weather is always an issue so one is neverreally sure who will show up or when. There is an informal campfire most nights with people just hanging out, andthere is a legend of a movie night projected on the side of a hangar. I'veheard it's Friday and I've heard it's Saturday, and I've always wanted toattend, but it seems to be a last minute, rather secretive event, so goodluck with that one.There are few organized events, it's completely laid back. Sometimes we geta "dawn patrol" of some of the more intrepid aviators and nice eveningsalways produce a great flying lineup. IF the weather is good, planes justcome and go all day with rides being hopped by various friendly pilots. Theonly organized events are the seminars held on Saturday, late morning,through the afternoon. These are all given by volunteers and the topicscover a multitude of subjects based on that person's expertise.I've seen pretty much every beverage imaginable being consumed at Brodhead.adult and otherwise.DouwePs. Congratulations on you guys who are done, you've accomplished a greatthing. Fly safe!!________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 08:13:48 -0500

I measured my fuselage and I have a smooth curve with the dimensions close to thoseshown on the plans. To get the smooth curve I needed to be +/- 1/4 inchdifferent then the plans dimensions. Like Jack said, just filled in the spacebetween the longerons after you pull the two sides together.Chris--------ChrisSacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 10:57:16 -0500
